Managing deforestation, Reducing deforestation, Eco-tourism, Sustainable development

This 3 hour lesson teaches students about the strategies used to mitigate against deforestation. Icons are used to initially stimulate discussion about how forest loss might be prevented. Students then evaluate why selective logging practices are more sustainable than clear fell logging. A card sort activity teaches pupils about 8 different strategies used to reduce forest loss. Students then dive deeper into ecotourism, as a way for developing nations to make money from the forest sustainably. Video resources and source annotation are used here to improve pupil understanding. Pupils categorise the social, economic and environmental benefits of eco-tourism in a card sort activity, before finally exploring Yachana Eco-Lodge as a case study example.

Workbook pintables are provided which follow the PowerPoint lesson. Multiple choice checking for understanding slides are included, as well as links and videos to allow pupils to secure their learning at home.
